Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Bosuilstadion will host Friday’s Belgium Jupiler Pro League game between Antwep and Searing, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The home side are having a perfect start to the season and will be looking to extend their excellent winning streak this weekend. New signing Vincent Jansen has scored five goals in his last four starts for Mark Van Bommel’s men and he will surely try to add more goals to his goal-scoring account. Both Michael Frey and M. Ange Balikwisha are rated doubtful, while M. Ange Balikwisha and Björn Engels are sidelined with injuries.
Searing, on the other hand, will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Club Brugge, but will have a mountain to climb in Friday’s clash. The visitors struggle on the travels; therefore, we predict that the league leaders will pick up all three points from this encounter. All Francois D'Onofrio, Gérald Kilota and Sami Lahssaini are major doubts, whilst Moustapha Mbow is unlikely to face Antwerp due to personal issues.
